The salad and dressing look awesome. To cut the tomatoes quickly take two plates that have raised rims on bottom and flip one upside down, place tomatoes inside rim and place 2nd plate right side up over tomatoes. Now you can hold top plate and place knife between rims and slice through tomatoes.
My beautiful wife has been making this for us for years, we love it
Her personality makes the video so much better ❤️
That is so true. Some may say she acts a little crazy, but I have always thought the slightly crazy girls are more fun. I love her just the way she is. 😍❤
We were hesitant on trying your dressing. We are Italian Dressing fans and your recipe is by far the best we have ever had. This recipe will be in our kitchen from now on. You have that special gift. Amazing!!
That’s the sweetest! ❤️❤️ thank you so much for the positive feedback!
That salad looks delicious. Natasha, your personality and smile, makes my rough days, positive and happy. Thank you so much for your videos!!!😁😸
Thank you for your kind words, Kenny. Enjoy the videos ❤
Thank u Kenny
Try it Kenny.... it’s Super Easy, and it’s a hit at BBQ’s and Pool Parties. I’ve also transported this to a function, and it really is sooooo yummy.
I *just* bought a few boxes of tri-color rotini off the discount rack which had a similar salad recipe on the back of the box, but yours looks *even better,* mmmmm...😋🤤

Rewatching an old classic!! I have made the dressing probably more than the actual salad it’s that darn good 😅I replaced the mayo with dijon mustard to cut the calories down, but it was absolutely way better than store bought 🥰
I love that you're eating as you go! Totally my wife and I when we cook 😂😂😂
I made this for guests at a bridal shower. Needless to say it was huge success! I know the homemade Italian dressing takes it over the top. No leftovers is always the sign someone looks for when they bring food. Will be using and adding this recipe to my stash! Thank you!
That’s fantastic! Thank you for sharing that with us ❤️
This was crazy good! Probably the best pasta salad I've ever made. I use cider vinegar ( using about 1/3 cup) instead of wine vinegar. Also I just added the shredded parmesan directly to the salad itself. Since I had flat leaf parsley in the refrigerator I used that instead of the dried. I never thought of putting a little bit of mayonnaise in my salad dressing but I think it helps the dressing stick to the pasta and veggies a little better. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe! I'll be making this again and again.
What a great feedback, thank you for sharing that with us!
I love the fact you sample/munch on the food as you go along. I do that all the time too.
Maria, it's so tempting, especially because filming the recipe takes longer than just making it so I help my self while husband is drooling behind the camera 😋
I love her homemade Italian dressing! It was so yummy and refreshing 😋. I added yellow and orange color bell pepper! Thanks Natasha :)
So great to hear that 😊
I made this today 😁 your right the best homemade dressing wow taste like olive Garden. This salad is going to be my summer go to!! Great job thanks so much!!
I made this salad and it was fantastic!!! I didn't have fresh mozzarella but did have basil feta and it was a great addition!! Thank you for this recipe!!
Glad you liked it!!
Natasha, you just made my mouth water, oh my, this Italian Pasta Salad & Dressing looks so Delicious! I love that you can make this recipe ahead of time & place it in the fridge. I will let you know how it turns out. Thank you so much! I will be making this all summer.
I absolutely love pasta salad!.. I made this pasta for my brothers birthday and everyone loved it… 😁
Good to know that it was a huge hit!
She's always smiling
She seems fake imo, idk there’s something about her
Marcosmos747 lol i wanna see her go into an angry, vulgar tirade (bonus if it’s race-related).
Yessss,😊 shes so bubbly it's awesome
I'm making my pasta salad today so when it's done I will upload a picture,only I put different kinds of meats & cheese's
Yes she is ... literally every video , she keeps smiling , she is funny . God bless her . She makes me happy .
Наташа, абажаю твои рецепты, всё так вкусно. Спасибо большое 💞
Ольга, спасибо тебе за комплименты и за приготовление наших рецептов 👏🏻
This salad is never-ending goodness! The second time I made it, I used red wine vinegar instead of white and used dijon mustard and honey instead of mayonnaise and sugar. Omg, it’s so good! Chiffonade Italian parsley and basil or baby arugula for greens take the salad to a different level! Benissimo! Thank you for sharing your awesome recipe!
You’re so welcome! Happy to hear that you enjoyed our salad recipe.
This is the best pasta salad I've ever tasted! I had to change up a few ingredients because that's what I had on hand. I used Rotini pasta, pepperoni, and green olives, and for my dressing I mixed up a package of Zesty Italian dressing and added the mayo and grated fresh parm.
My mom absolutely loves this and I can just sit and eat it by the bowl with nothing else, lol.
Thanks Natasha, I love your recipes and you are my go to when I want something delicious cause everything you make IS delicious!! 😋
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing, I’m glad you love it!
Natasha,I saw a quick way to slice cherry tomatoes....lay a round plastic lid over the tomatoes to keep them in place and use a serrated knife to 'slide' under the lid cutting through the tomatoes. It helps if the lid is clear so you can see underneath. A cool whip size lid or a smaller round lid works. Hope this helps! Love watching your videos!
I love that tip thank you!🥰
Those energies reflect me a lot in the kitchen. the level of passion to cooking is unmatched. makes my day. :)
I absolutely love pasta salad and this took home the crown for sure! All the different ingredients blended really well together and we're just delicious! Thanks Natasha! ❤
I love how she’s taste testing her ingredients, gotta ensure freshness!
Exactly!
@@Natashaskitchen nice im from uae
Made this twice now and it is absolutely delicious! Love love this pasta salad! Thanks Natasha!
Im so glad you have loved this salad enough to make it for a second time, and hopefully many more times.
Made this a gazilion time and its just incredible. I am jow the queen of pasta salad thanks to you Natasha
This is by far the BEST Pasta Salad recipe I've seen!! Thank you so much, you're so delightful to watch. 🙏🏻💕🙏🏻
You're welcome! So glad that you loved this recipe ❤
@@Natashaskitchen I will be making it this Friday, can't wait!! 🤤💕🤗
You were a motivation to me. I started cooking again after watching your videos. All the meals and deserts that you cook are really yummy. I tried some of them. Thank you for sharing them. GOD bless you and your family😍
your comment is so nice, thank you for sharing that with me. I'm so glad that our videos are a blessing to you 👏🏻
Which recipes did you try that you liked the best? I want to make one but I hate making something that is a fail.

Blueberry Cheesecake
Spagetti with meatballs
Fried rice
I love all the different types of Italian fruits and the dressing.
My Grandmother taught me how to make this! We added artichoke hearts as well as sharp provolone. Love this so much!
Good to know that, Susan. This meal is packed with vitamins and nutriets plus it is very delicious!
This was amazing! I used sundried tomatoes and some pepperoncini peppers instead of the roasted red peppers and it turned out excellent. Also added a bit more mayo for a creamier dressing. Make lots, you'll want leftovers!
That's a great substitution, thanks for sharing!
Love the onion punch, so cute. Very delicious looking salad.
I'm glad you enjoyed that part. That was fun! 😊
Made it, it was delicious.I’ll definitely make it again, the dressing is to die for.
Thank you very much for the recipe.
I would add a teaspoon of dijon mustard, both for the flavor but also to serve as an emulsifier to keep the oil & vinegar from separating. Looks delish.
Sounds good! Thanks for sharing that with us.
Made this salad with your recipe for spinach stuffed chicken and both were delicious!
Love how you can change this salad to whatever you have in your fridge!
So glad you enjoyed the recipes!
Made this today for our daughters birthday! soooo delicious!!!! And made other recipes from your site also! your recipes are just amazing. They never disappoint! thank you!
I'd eat a big bowl of that twice a week for supper.
I’ve watched this and I’m making it this year. I’ve had it the other way, but I like your style and I thank you for helping me know how to make the dressing for us how to make Italian dressing. I got to go get some basil and oregano I got everything but that you know I have everything but basil and oregano so I love it. Thank you, give us some more recipes. I miss you. This is three years old
What a great meal idea. This is basically the ingredients I use when making a salad with lettuce. I use pepperoni instead of salami. I think I’ll make this and use both pepperoni and salami! Thanks for the recipe 👍
Please do, we’d love to know how it goes!
OMG just made this and it is absolutely delicious! I did swap out some vegetables to my liking and what I had in my fridge! I’m sure my small group will love this. Thank you so much for all your hard work.
Glad you loved it!!
Girlfriend you were so hungry you were semi-delirious! Lol. Definitely going to make this and keep that dressing in rotation. Thanks!
Sara, you are very welcome and I'm glad you liked the video 👏🏻😀
I'm not usually a fan of pasta salad, but this is AMAZING. I had some Italian dressing in the frig and wanted to use it up. But I'm going to make this again today and I will be making your salad dressing. A quick way to slice cherry tomatoes, I saw this on TV. Gather the tomatoes and cover them with a dessert plate to hold them still and place your knife under the plate and slice away. You can probably see it on TH-cam for a better explanation. And your hair is so cute when you wear it up. Very pretty.
I’ve made this! Super simple and always a hit with guests. Stores well for meal prep lunches too. Really yummy recipe that we’ll be using for years to come I’m sure.
Glad you liked it!!
So fun to watch you Natasha. Your bubbly personality is the best! Keeps me smiling throughout all of your videos. Will be making the dressing today and the salad at a later date. Keep smiling 😂
Thank you for your compliments and for watching! I hope you love this recipe.
I just made this and absolutely loved it! The dressing is perfect and I love how colorful everything is!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
I’m glad you loved it! ❤️
To cut cherry tomatoes fast use 2 lids or small plates with the tomatos between like a sandwich, run knife through the middle.
I tried to make this pasta salad this evening, I changed up some of the ingredients, but the dressing... OMG, its divine 💕 I plan on always having this dressing in the fridge! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us! Love it, will be making it often.
Sounds great! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Made this yesterday for my family and they loved it. The dressing was delicious and easy side dish which goes well with just about everything or by itself. Thank You!
This recipe is so easy to make and so delicious! Great video as always, Natasha! ❤️👏
thank you for the compliment and for watching Adnana 😀
Hi, Would you mind posting the salad dressing ingredients? Thank you
best pasta salad ever!!!! My family lives on this during the summer and we use whatever veggies are plentiful in the garden! So yummy!!!
Looks delicious, will certainly try it. I always always slice all my tomatoes with a serrated knife, slices so easier.

@@Natashaskitchen bonjour quecque cous avais mi comme sauce merci
A beautiful lady who is good at cooking, always surprises, the taste must be really good, greetings from Indonesia, miss from Indonesia🇲🇨🙏❤
my go-to for cutting cherry tomatoes;
take a ceramic plate and put the tomatoes on them in a single layer. Top it with an upside down paper plate. Holding down the top of the paper plate to hold the tomatoes in place, run a large serrated knife sideways between the space where the two plates meet. Not a perfect approach but it does work with a little patience and practice.
ps- works better with a super sharp knife and is especially effective with halving olives
Thank you for sharing that with us 👌🏻
6:07, oh my goodness!! I just love this laugh. You are so cute and funny!! So glad I found you, Natasha!!!

This is one of my favourite salads to make and eat.
That’s nice to know!
Oh this looks so good. Can't wait to try it with the homemade dressing.
I like to put lobster in my pasta salad it’s really good and tasty
This looks amazing, like a pasta salad/antipasto hybrid; very imaginative, the sky's the limit with the addition of other possible ingredients (makes me go hmmm......).
So true, this recipe is so versatile
@@Natashaskitchen As an option, think about excluding the salami and cheese and replacing them with cooked seafood (steamed shrimp, baby scallops gently fried in butter, sliced conch and chopped up bits of buttered cooked lobster). Just a suggestion, food for the imagination.
Hello. I made your pasta salad 2 weeks ago and it was very easy to make and very tasty.
We're having hot weather today so I'm going to make it again early this morning so we can snack on it all day. The textures of all the goodies is great! Lots of garlic was added and we love it. Thank you.
Wonderful! I’m glad you enjoy this recipe.
Thank you for the recipe, I really enjoy your channel , and I also found out that a mushroom slicer works well with cutting cherry tomatoes and much more.
You are sooo awesome girl!!!! My wife and daughter love all your recipes that I make for them. Keep on keeping on!😉
Glad they love the recipes! Thank you so much for always watching ❤
I L💖VE this salad, used what I had and the salad dressing is supreme! Thanks Natasha!
You are so welcome!
Your salad has a wonderful antipasto look!! I’m definitely giving it a try!!!
Hello how are you?
Pepperoncinis and sun-dried tomatoes
Do you cut up the sun dried tomatoes or leave as is ?
Thank you! This was delicious! I doubled the 3 spices and it was still fabulous!
You’re welcome and thanks for sharing that with us.
I did this recipe it's delicious!, I used tuna instead salami even though was so yummy!.
This dressing and salad is excellent. Thank you for sharing it.
My pleasure 😊
this turned out so good thank you for this! it was really easy to follow along too!
2:50. Insane skills. 💯
I like your idea of using jarred roasted red peppers instead of fresh ones, like I normally do. I use provolone instead of mozzarella cheese, which I will have to try. Also, I add chopped mushrooms and chopped fresh basil, instead of fresh chopped parsley. Sometimes I'll add chick peas (garbanzo beans). My dressing is one part fresh lemon juice and two parts extra virgin olive oil! Thanks!
I'm happy to hear that you like this recipe. Thanks for sharing that with us too!
How to quickly cut cherry tomatoes in half:
Group them together, place a large plate on top of them, hold our your serrated knife sideways and cut through them.
Ross Passe I was just gonna type that believe me btw love ur commment ❤️😊
@@friutloops2117 Thank you, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who uses that technique!
Ross Passe yea of course I use that too
Thank you Ross for the tip. I need to try it next time 👍🏻
@@Natashaskitchen You're welcome. I hope it helps.
I just found you today! I really love your presentation and your salad look wonderful! Thanks.
Thanks and enjoy watching!
How are you?
I make mine like this but I also add, ham , peperoni, marinated artichoke hearts and garbanzo beans, you reminded me I haven't made it lately so thanks, supper tonight !!
Sharon, you are very welcome 👏🏻. I like that this recipe is a meal in itself and can last for some time 😋
Hi Natasha,
Firstly you’re just amazing and I’m kind of addicted to be watching all your videos and each one of them are brilliant.
I’m an Indian and a vegetarian and it would great if you could add some vegetarian dishes too into your cooking videos :)
Looking forward for your next video :)
Lots of love💖
Thank you for your kind words and suggestion. That is noted.
This looks awesome 😍 Thank you ❤
OH MY LORD THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE
it looks unreal and has ALL of my favorite things! CARBS!
LOL totally worth it
Don't know if your still asking for this, but I saw a Rachael Ray vid years ago, where she would put a bunch of cherry tomatoes between two small to medium sized takeout lids and would press down (enough to keep them where she wanted them, but not enough to squish them) and slice them in half vertically between the lids.
Salad looks delish and gives me dinner ideas.
This salad looks so good! Perfect for summer BBQ's :) - I really enjoy your videos and the way you make us laugh :) Have a blessed day Natasha!
So true this perfect for BBQs! Thanks for watching ❤
Omg this looks beyond delicious! My mouth is watering! 😋 Love your channel 💜
Cheryl, thank you for the compliment and for watching 😀
